The launch site for Day 2 is the Pier 2 Art Center, which was rebuilt on a warehouse near the port. This is a very cute art form from the installation of the small architecture, to the painting on the wall outside the warehouse. Depending on the stage, there will be exhibitions with different themes, but for sure, the theme is very attractive. For the saints like to take pictures magically, this place is a real paradise.

After taking eight thousand photos at the Pier 2 Art Center, you can go to Sun Yat-Sen University (Sun Yat Sen University). This is a well-known school in Taiwan but also has a very nice location, one side is mountain and another side is sea, here is also known as XiZiWan (Hangzhou Bay). Hire a green Ubike bike from the MRT station, then stroll around the Xi Zi Area, you can also ride a bicycle on SunYat Sen campus or take a breath of fresh sea air. You can easily meet the street snack stalls, but try Bingsoo (ice cream with fruit) in the area near the ferry boat. By the end of the day, SunYat Sen Beach is adjacent to the beach, which is the ideal place for both tourists and locals. In particular, sand in this sea is naturally black.

XinJueJiang night market

XinJueJiang night market-Kaohsiung-taiwan-traveling to Kaohsiung 2 days 1 night1

At night, you can go to XinJueJiang to eat and drink. This place is less junk food but a maze of shopping, experience for Taiwanese tourists – a self – sufficient Kaohsiung trip is that each alley you turn down, there are countless shops. clothing, shoes, jewelry super nice accessories. The layout of the shops here is very eye-catching that you can not go out, the price of the products worth the quality of them so you do not worry about being challenged( about 1.5 – 2 dollars). When I leave this area, I also bring home many gifts from here.
